September is Hunger Action Month and the Central Illinois Foodbank is ready for a busy month ahead spreading the word in an attempt to fight hunger.

Public Relations Manager Ashley Earnest says Hunger Action Month has been around for a little over a decade and has continued to grow in recent years.

Earnest has seen it first hand the fact that hunger knows no religion or race, it does no discriminate it can get anyone and often it is too hard to notice on a regular basis.

Earnest appeared as a guest on the Newstalk WTIM Morning Show.
